"Gimme Something Good"

"Gimme Something Good"



I can't talk
My mind is so blank
So going for a walk
I've got nothing left to say

I can't see
The darkness on the rise
I'll be waiting here
Until the under tide

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everything I have like it was broken
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good

I was playing dead
Doesn't make a sound
Holding my breath
Going underground

So I can't talk
I got nothing to say
It's like there's no tomorrow
Barely yesterday

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everything I have like it was broken
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Oh no

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everybody back
Round and round
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Oh no

"Go Easy"

"Go Easy"



I watch the evening grow old
And I watch the sun grow tired
Collapsing into the meadowlands
Funny how I still hear that voice
Sometimes it's like it's so loud
I only hear a ringing sound
If only to say this to you now
I love you still and I always will
If only to say this to myself
I will always love you
I will always love you
So go easy on yourself

Go easy
Go easy

You would like those flowers on the hills
And the sunlight in the fall even the coyotes call
Funny how my mind counts each day
By the times I've thought of you
Funny how the numbers sway
If only to say this to you now
I love you still and I always will
If only to say this to myself
I will always love you
I will always love you
So go easy on yourself

Go easy
Go easy
Go easy
Go easy
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now

"Gonna Make You Love Me"

"Gonna Make You Love Me"



Riot on the streets, the touch beneath the sheets
It's only gonna make you love me more
The cops they got the guns, the night destroys the sun
It's only gonna make you love me more

This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make you love me more

Moonlight on the beach, sweet amphetamines
It's only gonna make you love me more
Bottles and the cans, the idiots go dance
It's only gonna make you love me more

This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make you love me more

They say love is hell,
But I've only been laughin' ever since I fell
It's only gonna make you love me more
The lord will have his way but I'm just a call away
It's only gonna make you love me more

This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make you love me more

"Goodnight Rose"

"Goodnight Rose"



We're going to win
Put your troubles behind you
And go on to bed
Let go of the worry
There's so much nobody understands
Don't live your life in such a hurry
Life goes by us all so fast
And the sun will come up again
And I will be here
If you get scared just hold my hand
Tomorrow is yours and who knows
Maybe we'll win the whole shabang
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Good morning sunshine
A new day begins
And the hustle and bustle of the traffic greets you kindly,
I can tell because you're smiling
C'mon give 'em everything that the winning demands
Just one more ribbon Rose
Before the mantle place caves in
And the sun will come up again
And I will be here Rose
If you get scared just hold my hand
Get out of that dress
Go on to bed
The bar is closed...
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose

"Goodnight, Hollywood Blvd."

"Goodnight, Hollywood Blvd."



It's happening baby
They're putting up the chairs
Zaking the money
And all we can do is pray
Pray for tomorrow

So close your eyes
So close your mouth
And do this all in time to the music
That screams like a child in the back of your mind
In a clown's saloon

So goodnight Hollywood Blvd, goodnight,
See ya soon
Goodnight Hollywood Blvd, see you sometime
Yeah, right

Run away baby
Back to your lonely house
You wanted the honey
But you were only just stinging yourself
It's hard to watch

So close your eyes
And I close your mouth
And I do this all in time to the music
That dance like fools set on fire
Flailing their arms in a room full of whores

So goodnight Hollywood Blvd, goodnight,
See ya soon
Goodnight Hollywood Blvd, see you sometime
Yeah, right
Yeah, right

"Gracie"

"Gracie"



Hello Gracie you're a good little girl
it's a beautiful world oh when you're out in it
Last time I saw you playing in the yard
You were running with children and the old people were smiling
Do you miss me would you know me at all?
If you walked by my house would you smile and turn the corner?
Blow your kisses oh make it feel worse
you know you gotta make the best of the time got has given you

I scratch your name into a wall on the beach with my keys on the side of the pier
I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying with you mid-summer
in the grass in the fields

Nobody was right Nobody was wrong, but somebody had to go
Nobody is here so nobody is gone, hello, goodbye, hello
hello, hello, hello

I scratch your name in my arm with my keys on the beach on the side of the pier
I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place
down the block far enough away it's like I'm not here

You're in my heart and you're in my soul, so I have to let you go
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, but I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go

"Hallelujah"

"Hallelujah"



I've been a desperate man
I've been sheltered by a lonely dream
There's a stranger here
Looking back above the bathroom sink
Every night I throw you out
Leave you stranded on the boulevard
You know that I use you up
I used you like I used 'em all
Well the band's singing hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You're all gone. Yeah, you're all gone.

If I could have a simple love
How would it feel and what would it mean?
I'd only trade you away
For Mary Magdalene
Oh, it wouldn't make me insane (a saint ?)
And it would make me the king
And I wouldn't have to wait
Wait around for the real thing
Well the band's singing hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You're all gone. Yeah, you're all gone.

Hallelujah
You're all gone. Oh yeah, yeah, hey.

"Halloween"

"Halloween"



Heart stops beating, all the words worth repeating
She is dancing but not singing, is it maybe that she doesn't know the words?
She's dressed up, but don't worry, she's got friends
Snowflake eating, she is mildly self-defeating
And the secrets that she's keeping they are really only dangerous to her
Ships ain't sinking
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
Because tomorrow comes and no one calls

She stops grinning when the room it starts spinning
She is losing all her winnings, she's angry but it's just the alcohol
She's all fucked right up, it's okay, man, she's got friends
'Cause we are here to help her sing her songs
We are here to help her sing her songs
Because tomorrow's gonna come
Tomorrow's gonna come, and no one's gonna call

This isn't Christmas, this is Chinatown and those are pretty lights
Just use some more and put 'em on your make-up dolls
A painting on the underneath that never smiles on the scene
Is just like Christmas if it was Halloween

Someone taught her it's okay to be a martyr
Like an educated angel, be a rat, you know in all the things you love,
Well okay
Priceless pictures, she's collected iceless fixtures that is freezing from the people
She's chosen out to help her through it all
Whatever
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
Because tomorrow's gonna come
Tomorrow's gonna come, and no one's gonna call

"Halloween Head"

"Halloween Head"



Here comes that shit again
I've got a halloweenhead
Head full of tricks and treats
It leads me thru the nighttime streets
Black cats and falling trees
Under ladders always walking
Salt shaker spills just throw it over your shoulder, babe
I've got a bad idea again, i've got a
Halloweenhead, halloweenhead
Head full of candy bags
Costume shops and punks in drag
Head full of tricks and treats
Places where junkies meet
And it leads me thru streets at night
That's alright, i just watch i don't go inside
It's all the same old shit again
I got a halloweenhead
I got a halloweenhead
Lord, i got a halloweenhead
Guitar solo
I got a halloweenhead
Lord, i've got a halloweenhead
I got a halloweenhead
Oh lord, i've got a halloweenhead
Here comes that shit again
I've gota halloweenhead
Head of tricks and treats
It leads me thru the nighttime streets
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown
I've got a halloweenhead
Lord, i've got a halloweenhead
What the fuck's wrong with me, god i'm a halloweenhead

"Happy Birthday"

"Happy Birthday"



I told everybody I was late
But I was hiding in the back
Hiding in the back my hands would shake
Happy Birthday I'm your birthday cake

And I'm lit, and I'm baked
And I'm tired, I tried to escape
From the fight, I got untied
I was wrong, you were right...
I was wrong, you were right...
Happy Birthday

I told everybody I was clean
But I had clouds in my bath
Listening to music, reading poetry
Nodding off and nearly drowning myself

And it's clear you're clearly upset
Wanna smoke, but my smokes are all wet
I've got two, both of them lit
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday
I'm your birthday cake and I'm lit...
